2012 ⇨ ⇨ ⇨ 2013

We spend January 1st walking through our lives, room by room, 

drawing up a list of work to be done, 

cracks to be patched.  

Maybe this year, to balance the list, 

we ought to walk through the rooms of our lives... not looking for flaws, 

but for potential.

Nothing But Love...

Adrian, Paolo and I would like to wish everyone out there the very happiest of Holidays! Please love one another, appreciate each other, and embrace the beautiful diversity of the world!

This video by Brendan James for Marriage Equality was our inspiration for this year's holiday card!

Please spread the word, that LOVE does work!

2012-What a Year!...

I would be completely lying if I didn't admit that this year has FLOWN by!... I seriously can't grasp the fact that we are clicking another notch in that odometer of life.

Emerald Green: Pantone's choice for 2013!

Well if you haven't seen it tweeted or broadcasted somewhere, the word is out!... Move over Tangerine Tango, because Emerald Green is moving in as the color of the year for 2013!

Now much like its predecessor, Emerald Green is a GORGEOUS color, but really best when used sparingly and thoughtfully. It seems to take center stage when it takes on a more supporting role than a lead character. Now this isn't the rule to everything and every situation of course, but here are some examples of ways that this color has made me GREEN with ENVY! (Okay that was bad...) But please enjoy the the images I gathered off Pinterest!

Hehehe... Last one's a CLASSIC!
